摘要
With their creative product and technology ideas, engineers are excellent sources of high growth-potential entrepreneurial ventures. However, this resource has not been effectively tapped by academia in general. This paper reviews Entrepreneurship, the debates over teaching Entrepreneurship and critical success factors for new venture creation from historical perspectives. Also described is an innovative, inter-disciplinary Engineering Entrepreneurship program backed by the resources and activities of a technology incubator, to provide engineering students and researchers with tools and opportunities for entrepreneurial success, establish deeper and more meaningful community ties, and facilitate the incubation of investable technology-based start-ups.
